Needing some advice on this as I've been given a present off my daughter for a wrecking trip . Problem is I gave up boat dangling years ago due to repeated sea sickness ruining my days but I'd love to have a go again and wonder if there's anything I can do to reduce the nausea.

I've managed to equip my bag now with 6 genuine and very expensive lures but wondering about your experiences with the vital bit that links them to the mainline. I can get hundreds of them on AliExpress but concerned about quality and strengths so I would like some recommendations as to some...

If you are casting lures into flowing water such as estuaries, what are the do's and don'ts? Do you cast across, uptide or downtide. ? Do predators swim with or against the tide to attack the lure?. Do you pull a lure against or with the flow? These are just some of the questions that haunt me.
